New layout

Do you like it? i do, but what i didn't like was that adding the new template took out all my sidebar links and stuff, and i had to start all over.

Guess what? i played violin yesterday. My friend Lisa and i are playing a wedding on Friday, with her on piano and voice and me on violin. i haven't played violin in a wedding in a LONG time. We had a great time rehearsing yesterday, and i was much better at playing than i thought i would be, especially since i hadn't taken it out since the last time.

i'm really tired of my clothes not fitting. This is not due to pregnancy, this is actually due to a crazy metabolism that crashed after i had David and went on the depo shot. But really, even the large sized clothes i bought after David was born are snug. Nothing is comfortable, and everything makes me look like a middle-aged man. (Pot belly, love handles.) And my new size of jeans is weird, too. The size down (8) is way too tight, but the size i'm wearing (10) ends up going way farther down over my booty than is appropriate when i bend down. And because all my shirts are too small, they can't be pulled down to a comfortable length over my behind to avoid embarrassment. All my button-downs gap. All my stretchy sweaters stretch and show my lovely pot belly and muffin-top i've got going. Clinton and Stacey would not approve, but i've taken to wearing my husband's shirts, which hide all unfortunate body circumstances, but bring up new problems, such as looking like one of those "sweatshirt" moms, which i swore i'd never be. (No offense, sweatshirt moms. i see where you're coming from.)

There. Rant over. If you feel like reading something funny after this post, read this Dave Barry article i laughed until i cried over today.
